NOD32 fails to exclude.

Well NOD32 scans the same file *TOO* many times. Just after startup and about 1 minute it has about 2000 files scanned. If I'm not doing anything and my computer is idle. It will continue scanning. Specifically "FAST2.exe" which is a RAM defragmenter. Well I added it to the exclude list (I can take a screen shot if you want) and it still scans it. I heard the exclude feature didn't work but I also heard it supposedly works now.

Does the exclude feature work or did I not exclude is properly, ...somehow.
